Just another day saving lives....

Today, I received this email from a friend on a pet diabetes list. Made me feel good to know that I helped someone with what I went through with Trace. Here's hoping everything works out for Simba.


Hi guys
i just hung up with tonia. simba is at tuft's university vet
hospital. YIPEE!!!. Lynn, it was your post that convinced her that it
was worth going further into hock to save Simba's life. The Internist
at the hospital told her that Simba should survive this and that she
needs some of acute care, some nutritional supplements, some more
tests, etc. They also think Simba needs to be tested for Cushings.
Apparently the internist in no way concurred with the opinion of one
of the doctors at the last place that simba should be put down.

When Tonia called me late last night, because the folks at the other
place were hanging crepe, I told her not to do anything, not to give
any permission for anything. I had a feeling that the people there
had run out of options, not that there weren't more options. It was
Lynn's email which convinced her to go to Tufts. GOOD JOB LYNN.

Tonia and her husband Shawn are driving home now, having left Simba
there. Tonia sounds much better than she did last night or even
earlier today. She will update later, but is eternally grateful for
everyone's support, prayers, good wishes and general help.

Ok,
I've gone on too long. But I am cheered after speaking with her.
Thanks everyone for your concern.
